I'm a self taught painter.. been painting professionally for about 7 years, started off turning rental units like apartments and mobile homes. ( and YES, I have made my share of mistakes!). now doing warranty work for a builder out here in Texas, and getting a few full repaints from homeowners. Your Videos are fantastic. Painting isn't easy if done right!.. I totally respect your approach. I do some things a bit different, and also have incorporated many of your lessons into my way of getting it done. Products and specific tools aside, I LOVE your respect of PREP.. the guy who turned me on to my current gig told me .." You can have the fanciest tools, and most expensive paint on Earth, and if your job isn't prepped correctly, you might as well be rolling dog shit with a Q-tip". Thanks for the effort you put into your KZread channel.. I'm sure you've helped way more people than me!..

Found this channel by chance a week ago. I’ve been binge watching it since. Great content and seems like a great person too. The tips he gives out for free is very helpful and makes work faster and easier. Thanks man.

Thank you for watching and sharing🤙

Been watching you for years thanks for the tips and videos they have greatly helped me improve myself and my quality of work for clients. God bless!

I actually prefer the small/inexpensive 4” rollers, much easier to maneuver around as you cut in. The expensive one weights almost twice as much. Review 18” roller frames next! Never seen a “double 9” roller frame”, roller trays are another one, I’ve had the same 5 roller trays for like 7 years now

Thank you for your advice/videos I appreciate it. Some guys on the field don't like to give tips or help out the inexperienced.

I never thought of some of the things you brought up, like a flexible roller causing trailing edges, and the way microfiber nap tends to drag, which I never considered might be caused by the cheap roller. Great insights Chris!

Purdy extension poles suck! They slip! And for this reason, I use Wooster Sherlock

Yeah, I went from Wooster quick connects to purdy poles and frames. Loving every second of it. Only thing I don't like is some of my bigger extension poles tend to slip and slide down after a while, also had one of the quick connects break at the tiny hook in the end. But honestly I don't mind investing in new ones and just rotating them out. Absolutely love the new purdy setup.

"The stiffer, the better"...that's what she said!!

I love the blue tiger roller. They used to sell them at Walmart idk if they do anymore tho. Also like the dark green wooster.

I love the one that is lightweight and adjustable between 12-18". It holds roller from the sides so you don't mount the sleeve on top of it hence less friction.

Menards has a good roller cage looks just like the one in his video the better stiffer one.

Does the blue tiger roller click onto the Sherlock Wooster poles like the Wooster roller does?

What's the difference between blue tiger and wooster? It looks like blue wooster 🤷

Great info, thanks for taking the time to explain about rollers. Who makes your pants?

3:15 That's so what she said!

Make a video with paint brushes and paint sprayers if you haven't already. Great video! best luck from Texas

Buy Purdy brushes and you'll be fine. I've been in the painting business for over 30 years, and that's all I use. I like the 3 inches, blue bristle with a square head.

Unfortunately we don’t have those type of cage rollers here in Scotland the nearest to these cages is Purdy and if I buy from your shop I have to put in postage from the USA

I thought you were going to talk about Nap length and micro vs lambs wool. But cool video. Quick ? Purdy or Wooster???

The Roller COVER goes over the Roller. Making a video about Rollers, you called the Roller Covers 'Rollers' also. Just a small point. I enjoy your videos, and they are always informative. Kinda like Caulk Guns - don't spend $2.99 on the Caulk and $1.99 on the Caulk Gun. Get a good one instead.

i thought you‘d talk about rollers :( and maybe the differences between foam and the others - cheap vs. expensive handles, that‘s a no brainer greetings from the very very very rainy germany

Don’t matter about the paint roller I seen great painters use the cheapest stuff and that looks better than someone that uses the most professional tools its not always about the tools or brands is about getting it done

I don't know if I'd call roller choice a professional tool.. Now the difference between using cheap tools compared to more expensive professional tools is many times the difference between night n day!!!..
